Well my ****in' car got messed up again. I was drivin' down back from rifle practice and hit some ice on a turn goin' about 45. It was just a little curve that's why I was going so fast. I let off the gas but didn't have any control what so ever and just slid into the ****in' curb. I thought all I did was bend the rims because the tires were still fine and my brakes worked fine but when I got home I found much more. The front was completely fine, found a nice used set of rims for 75 bucks a piece and had the tires switched and balanced for 30 bucks. When I took the rear wheel off the rotor was just hanging. That son of a bitch snapped off the rotor hub and every time I hit my brakes it grinded the **** outta my pads. So I went and bought new bads and a rotor for 45 bucks (50% discount because my dad knows the guy who owns the shop and gets a division of fire discount). I also noticed there was some fluid leaking from the axle. Damn seal was broke. Then my car still wasn't driving right. Jacked up the back end again and put it in drive without hitting the gas and only the right side wheel was turning. Put it in neutral and turned it by hand and felt that the mother ****in' axle is bent. Now I'm without a ****in' car and about 200 bucks in the hole and haven't even got an estimate on the god damn axle. I'm just hoping that the ****ing differential and gears aren't ****ed up because then I'll really be up **** creek.

Here's some pics of the damage with the wheels on. If you look real close on the first pic you can tell that the rotor is hanging because it's busted off the hub. I didn't have my camera over at the shop when I took them off so I don't have any pics of the rotor or anything. The really bad wheel is the rear. I did not think by the looks of the rim that I would've bent the damn axle.

 

the good thing is that only stockers

didnt read post first lol vbut still rims were only stock thank god

 

axles dont cost alot...

easy swap

I did the same thing... bent my rear axle... 20 minute swap... your rear is fine...

don't sweat it... lol

 

I'm just pissed that all this **** happened within' a 3 month period. I've been tryin' to save up since that last ****-fest because it's inevitible that something is going to go wrong again, but just haven't had the chance. Tax return should be a nice little addition to my savings. That'll be able to cover anything I need when it happens.

 

Got the car back yesterday. Discovered the caliper and mount for the caliper were both bent just enough that I had to replace the bastards. That was another 100 bucks outta my pocket. Grand total came to $850. Luckily my dad is kick *** and said he would take off 200 for my x-mas present because that's usually what he spends on each of us for x-mas.

 

wow, you ****ed that gay little wheel up, lol!

sorry to hear about the other damage, though.., but now you can get some nicer wheels with good reasoning.
